History
=Background=
"Dideba" was written and composed by {{ill|Kote Potskhverashvili|ka|კონსტანტინე ფოცხვერაშვილი}} and was adopted by the "Menshevik"-led Georgian government as the country's national anthem in 1918 after it became free from Russian rule. However, "Dideba" was only be used for a few years, until Georgia came under Soviet rule from 1922 onward.
=Readoption=
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, "Dideba" was readopted as the Georgian national anthem, though at the time of its re-adoption it was barely known by most Georgians as it had been almost seven decades since it was last used as the country's national anthem.
=Replacement=
"Dideba" was used as the Georgian national anthem from November 1990 until 20 May 2004, when it was replaced by the current Georgian national anthem "Tavisupleba" following the 2003 Rose Revolution.{{cite web|url=http://www.nationalanthems.info/ge-04.htm|access-date=12 January 2019|title=Georgia: 1918-1920, 1991-2004|date=2018|publisher=Nationalanthems.info|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190112183709/http://www.nationalanthems.info/ge-04.htm|archive-date=2019-01-12}} Though the replacement of "Dideba" came after a change in government, efforts to replace the song reportedly predated said reforms.
